Bernard W. Klotz v. United States
Opinion
The appellant was adjudged guilty upon a jury’s verdict of violating Title 18 U.S.Code, § 1709, 1 and was sentenced to imprisonment for six' months.
*709 The sole question on appeal is whether the district court erred in denying appellant’s motions for judgment of acquittal and for a new trial for the reason that the evidence was insufficient in law to support his conviction. A careful examination of the record convinces us that there was no such error, and the judgment is therefore
Affirmed.
